Seasons at Shiregreene - Gillian Richardson - Bog

How are we shaped by where we live? This collection of personal essays recounts the time the author spent on a small acreage in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Shiregreene provided many opportunities to observe nature day by day, season by season. Animal tracks in the snow revealed others who shared this place, and springtime songs gave clues to returning birds. Trails led through nearby fields as crops ripened under the summer sun, and a starry dome glittered above this 'dark sky place' in fall. The author's responses to each season's discoveries became woven into her identity and her awareness of what matters.
